You were caught in a pattern that felt like love. Losing it felt like losing yourself.
For more than twenty-five years, clinical social worker Debra Alper watched a story unfold repeatedly in her office. It came from clients who had been told to just leave a harmful relationship, and they could not explain why the words did not work.
Alper knew the pattern from both sides of the couch.
In Undertow, Alper names what is happening and shares the TIDE Cycle and The ISLAND A Framework for Relational Recovery(TM) so readers can find their way back to themselves.
